Summary

Recommendations for weight management in adolescents with obesity include setting small goals to improve eating behaviours. This frequently includes manually recording food intake over a few days. This is particularly challenging for adolescents as they do not enjoy writing down what they eat, leading to incomplete records. To address this, mobile applications (apps) can easily capture what is eaten through photos. Eating for wellness (E4W) is an app that analyzes photos of meals taken by the user and determines the nutritional profile. The investigators will conduct a pilot randomized controlled trial to determine whether E4W can be implemented successfully and its preliminary effectiveness and impact on dietary intake in adolescents with obesity participating in SickKids' weight management program.

Conditions

  • Pediatric Obesity
